MILEPOST Multicenter Randomized Controlled Trial: 12-Month Weight Loss and Satiety Outcomes After pose
Trial report in Obesity surgery, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT01843231 (A Randomized Controlled Multicenter Feasibility Study of an IncisionLEss Operating Platform for Primary ObeSiTy vs. Diet-exercise Alone), which is not on this map. Cited by 38 papers, 8 of them syntheses that pooled it.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Abstract
backgroundPose
methodsSubjects with classes I-II obesity were randomized in a 3:1 ratio to pose or diet/exercise guidance only (control). Pose subjects received gastric fundus and distal body suture-anchor plications with diet/exercise counseling. Total body (%TBWL) and excess weight loss (%EWL) were assessed at 6 and 12 months. Analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) was used to analyze 12-month %TBWL. Satiety changes were assessed at 6 and 12 months.
resultsFrom November 2013 to July 2014, 44 subjects were randomized (34, 77.3 % female; mean age, 38.3 ± 10.7 years; body mass index, 36.5 ± 3.4 kg/m
conclusionsIn a randomized controlled trial at 12 months, pose-treated subjects had significantly greater weight loss than those treated with diet/exercise guidance alone. At 6 and 12 months, pose subjects showed significant reduction in satiety parameters. STUDY REGISTRATION: clinicaltrials.gov identifier # NCT01843231.
